I can't believe I'm doing this. Wife says it's "time to grow up." So I guess it's time to get a SUV. *Sigh* It was fun while it lasted.... I'm definitely in NO HURRY to sell.

Beautiful car and sweet mods. At $29K, you are likely to have significant trouble selling the car. Kbb.com values your car, pre-mods at a max of $20,840 for a private sale for a 545 in excellent condition with your options in Irvine. Good luck with sale. If you are serious about selling, I think that you will make more money returning your car to stock and parting out the mods.
By the way, the last time I checked, a 545 was an adult's car -- not a kid's car. Grown ups own 5 Series V8s (if you ask me). Well, if you goal is to stave off the missus, your asking price may very well have that effect.
I can understand you not wanting to part with your 545 as it's a beauty.

Thanks. I guess my wife's logic is that we have two kids right now and she would rather have a SUV. I told her I would "post the car up for sale." But I would definitely consider serious offers.

Ace's old 545. Wow -- you didn't have it very long. Bummer about the wife. I know how it is. I had to get her an X5 to keep her quiet. LOL!

Just get the wife an SUV, that's what I did 
I have 2 kids as well, but I am not giving up my car, so much easier to get her a baby hauler

I too have 2 kids, but I'm not going to part with my E60 over it!! 
And also like others here I bought an X5 as the family hauler, and everything is FINE!!!
